Hi all, I am looking for some recomendations on which sound card to buy for Condition Zero. (I need a new one pretty badly...) Please make your recomendation under $35. Also, it would be nice to get a sound card that has good microphone quality. Please post your recomendations here!:)

All "Sound Blaster" cards are ammazing. Get an audigy if possible, or Sound Blaster Live.

Pfff soundblasters who needs them! I got my MSI onboard sound and its about the same in detail for sound. But if your H to the Core you might want to get one of those SB:Live's either way...i'm still owning j00. :D

Any good cards. Just onboard cards aren't good.

You also need a good microphone.

Yup. Go with logitech.

In fact, they even have a headset for $70 which includes a sound card into the headset! You just plug in into USB and the new soundcard appears. It sounds very well and go with it if you don't need speaker support.

Just tested it, yup, u can use the speakers from your computer and the microphone from your headset and here is how:
Go to start->control panel->double click sounds and audio devices->click the audio tab at the top->for sound playback, choose what your computer normaly uses (not the Logitech USB Headset)->next make sure your sound recording option is Logitech USB Handset->click apply and ok and now you have the sounds coming out of your computer speakers and the microphone from your Logitech USB Headset...Enjoy:)
